← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when rapid decompression causes dissolved carbon dioxide to change phase aboard a commercial aircraft?
A)Cabin pressure exponentially decreases
B)Internal temperature reaches absolute zero
C)Supersaturation and bubble formation✓
D)Air density reaches maximum value
💡 Explanation
Rapid decompression causes dissolved CO2 exceed its saturation point and undergo phase transition via cavitation when pressure reduces; bubbles form because the pressure drop triggers nucleation, therefore, supersaturation results, rather than the alternatives that rely on different mechanisms and scenarios.
